Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Water in Big Smoky Valley, Nevada The demand for farm homes is so great and will continue to be so great that strenuous efforts will be made to utilize by irrigation every existing water supply. The ground waters underlying the Nevada deserts will certainly receive more attention in the future than they have in the past, and costly projects for their recovery will be under taken. Some Of these projects will no doubt fail, but others will eventually be successful. SO great is the eagerness for land that the report of a single owing well or the skillful advertisements Of a promoter may at any time start a stream Of home seekers, ignorant Of the actual conditions and difficulties, into almost any of the desert valleys Of the West. It is very desirable that the possibilities of these valleys should be thoroughly investigated before they are invaded by home seekers. The helplessness Of the ordinary settler when he confronts the unfa miliar and inherently difficult problems Of irrigation with ground waters is illustrated in Big Smoky Valley as well as in other areas. In the south basin Of this valley (see fig. 17) there have been a few attempts at irrigation with ground water, but they were made either so far up the slopes that the high lift rendered the cost prohibitive or else in the alkali area where agriculture is not feasible; none appar ently have been made in the zone in which the ground-water conditions are the most favorable.

Download or read book Big Smoky Silver Mining Company Nevada Classic Reprint written by Big Smoky Silver Mining Company and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big Smoky Silver Mining Company, Nevada The Company also own a fine timber tract of 421 acres, through which the vein runs, together with 136 acres, enclosing a water right of one mile in length with a fall of 75 feet, running upwards of 150 inches of water, mill measurement. The climate of Reese River is delightful, Austin lying three hundred and ninety miles west from Salt Lake City, and about one hundred miles farther south than the city of New York. Snow is rarely seen in the valleys, and the month of April generally finds but little on the mountain tops. Mining operations are carried on at all seasons alike. Rich agricultural lands are found in the valleys, once thought to be worthless, but now producing vegetables of all kinds in great abundance. Last year one thousand acres in one valley sown to barley, produced from 30 to 50 bushels per acre. As a general thing wood and water are scarce, the usual feature of a rich mineral section. About seven miles from the mill are found inexhaustable supplies of salt, which is so necessary in the reduction of silver ores, and from which the mills of Reese River are supplied. From ten to twenty per cent of salt is added to the pulverized ore before roasting, having the effect of developing through the heat, a chlorine gas, which has a strong affinity for silver, and forms after desulphurization, a chloride of silver. The base metals are thereby mostly volatilized, or driven off in a vapor, thus becoming separated from the silver, which is then readily amalgamated in the pans by the use of quicksilver.
